Well my lovely bloglets,
I haven't done this properly in aaaaaages and feel that I have loads to say and nothing at the same time. My life has become uni, uni, running, running, running, and maybe see one person a week. Ok, so that's a slight exaggeration, but not by much actually.
I'm in week 7 or 8 of uni and think I have done more work than I did in 3 years at Edinburgh. My days are quite long when I'm in. 10-5.30ish or 6pm on a Tues with no lunch break as I have a tutorial over it and Wed is 9-6ish with a lunch break. I am also often in on a Monday afternoon, 2-5.30/6 and once a month on a Mon morning 9-11 so it's go, go, go.
I did until last week have two essays due in on the 12th Dec, 2 exams on the 13th and 1 exam on the 14th. They have now pushed back one essay deadline to the 19th Dec and the other essay is due on the 16th Jan, so thank fuck for that!! BUT, over Christmas I have to revise for an exam on the 9th Jan, and write up a self care report that I am starting on Monday as well as finish the essay I have started which had the deadline put back and write a patient document, so, there is a lot on. And this is only year 1!!
Having said that, it's all really interesting and I'm enjoying it, I've just had to put my social life on hold during the week. I have managed to keep up the running though, and I did 9 miles last week in 1hr 9min and this week I'm doing 10 miles, so I'm happy with my progress, especially as a couple of weeks ago I went home for reading week and was ill and ended up having 2 weeks of no running. I was really worried that I would have completely lost my fitness, but didn't. All that happened was that my leg muscles hurt like fuck for a couple of days, which was better than only being able to run 2 miles.
I have no new hospital results, my next check up is next week, so fingers crossed the Leukaemic rate is still as low if not lower!!
One exciting thing that happened last week is that I went up to the Jimmy Teens office as my most recent video blog was chosen as the 1000th video which was amazing and an honour. It was also Jimmy Teens 6th birthday. You can go and watch the film about the 6th birthday and my interview at www.jimmyteens.tv My most recent video is also up ( the 1000th film). I also got to see my buddies who work there as well as another buddy I met through TCT who is at uni in Sheffield at the moment, training to be a doctor. He asked me how my 'voo doo' degree is going.......
So on that note, I should go and make my juice for today as I couldn't arsed to make it this morning and opted for half an hour longer in bed, and have eaten 4 Sainsbury's triple chocolate cookies this afternoon and feel very, very, very sick, so hoping the juice will counter that. I should go and do some work as well I suppose....
So, with lots of love, laughter and smiles as always,
Me, XXX
